I Love My Daughter's Teacher!

When I dropped off my daughter at school this morning, I had to go into the cafeteria to drop off her menu selections for the week to supplement the lunches I send from home, and I stopped in to say hi to her teacher... Well, she said "oh just the person I wanted to talk to!" She had a empty bag of Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookie mix and said that on Friday one of the other girls mom is bringing cookies for everyone, so rather than ask me to make some for her, she picked up the mix at Kroger and made them herself and put them in the freezer until Friday. (She's also trying the gluten-free diet herself to see if it helps her symptoms and she has a grown son with multiple food allergies including wheat).

Because she has a grown son with allergies, I know I can trust her to be aware of cc issues and everything, she even checked to make sure the vanilla she used was gluten-free. And come Friday when they have their party, she said that she and my daughter will have their gluten-free cookies together!

How amazing is this???!!!!

I hope she enjoys the cookies too! I'm just so thrilled that her teacher makes the extra effort to make her feel included and safe. She's already been awesome about letting me know when they had won a pizza party so that I could bring in a hot fresh gluten-free pizza for my daughter as well, and she always asks before planning an event with food. And we are only a few months into the school year!

That's great, Nini! I love Carleigh's teacher too. They are going to make a friendship soup in the crockpot at the end of the month. She wants everyone to bring a cup of veggies or something to contribute. She emailed me today for input on how to keep her safe.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
